Alright, so the other day I decided to jump into this thing called a “straight circlejerk.” I’d heard the term tossed around, and my curiosity got the better of me. It sounded kinda wild, maybe even a bit taboo, so naturally, I was all in.
First off, I hit up the internet, just to get a basic idea of what I was getting myself into. I mean, you gotta do some recon before diving headfirst, right? Turns out, “circlejerk” can mean a couple of things. There’s the literal sense, which, well, involves a group of guys in a circle, getting handsy with each other. But then there’s the slang version, which is more about people patting each other on the back and agreeing with everything without thinking for themselves. That seemed a bit more my speed for starters, even though I wanted to explore the first meaning.
Armed with this newfound knowledge, I decided to try the literal meaning first. I gathered a few of my buddies who were also curious, because, misery loves company? Nah, they were just as eager as I was. We cleared out my living room, threw down some towels (safety first, folks), and formed our little circle. It was awkward at first, I’m not gonna lie. A bunch of dudes standing around, not really sure where to start. But we loosened up eventually, and let me tell you, it was an experience.
- We tried a few different, uh, “techniques.”
- Some worked better than others.
- There was a lot of laughter, a few near misses, and a whole lot of bonding.
Afterward, we all sat around, catching our breath and sharing a few laughs. It was definitely something I’ll never forget. And hey, it gave us a great story to tell. I also try the slang version, and I just share my viewpoint and only engage in agreement without considering other perspectives. It is really cool.
But then I thought, why not try this solo? So, I did. I looked up some tips online, because even though I’d done it before, there’s always room for improvement, right? The internet suggested a few different positions – “The Standard” being one of them, which is pretty self-explanatory. I experimented with a few others, found a couple that really worked for me, and added them to my repertoire.
In the end, my “straight circlejerk” journey was all about exploration, both with friends and solo. It was about pushing boundaries, trying new things, and not taking myself too seriously. Would I recommend it? I can try it with you if you want. I’m always up for an adventure, and this was definitely one for the books.
